High Blood Pressure
Hi, my husband recently felt dizzy on 2-3 mornings and we started monitoring his blood pressure. It has been in the range of 130-150/90-100 in the past 3-4 days. There is a family history (maternal) of bp and diabetes. He is obese (5.11 feet -109 kg) and has a moderately high stress job. Please suggest if we should start medication right away or try lifestyle modification first.

Lifestyle modifications first. Medicine is the easiest way out. If you can cut down on salt, cut down on carbs and walk about 4-5 kms per day. You will see the changes
